Damien Jurado/Maraqopa

I had never heard of this gem of a singer song writer until just a few weeks ago.
Damien Jurado's new album Maraqopa is FANTASTIC! This is my favorite album of 2012.
Check him out on Spotify if you like. He has a few very nice albums.
Damien sounds fantastic with just him singing with acoustic guitar. Many of you may perfer his music this way.
see his album "Live at Landlocked" This live album is very well recorded too. He is out touring behind Maraqopa.
Here is a 3 song sample from Maraqopa.

Very nice.

That first YouTube track really evokes Paul Simon at his prettiest - not a half bad place to start, in my book. I'm off to Amazon, now. Thanx for the tip.

Damien is a local artist...the release party for Maraqopa was at the Neptune.

If you like Maraqopa definitely get St. Bartlett which was one of the top 2010 releases.

One of the best singer-songwriters out there.

Enjoy Marty.If you purchase Maraqopa and don't love it just mail it to me and I will buy it from you.lol... really(offer only good to Marty)
This will be on your top ten of the year I am sure.
Marty do you have Spotify/Mog ? The beauty of these music sites is you can here every album Damien or other artists has ever made for free.(ok there are commercials)if you don't pay monthly fee, which I do. Quality is often cd caliber.
Marty not sure if you saw my Alt. Country thread , but you should really check out the cave singers new release called No Witch. It's stellar! Here are three cuts

Jazdoc you are right he is one of the best singer song writers. You must live in the Seattle area.Have you seen him live ? He is coming to the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh next month. I will check out St. Bartlett.
